When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.

A man's body may grow old, but inside his spirit can still be as young and as restless as ever.

I usually control the environment I'm in, but my control is very quiet and subtle.

Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.

I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken, we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.

I sit waiting for things that I can't refuse.

My understanding of women goes only as far as the pleasures.
